That Time Bruce Willis Appeared in a Film Uncredited for Quentin ... (Collider.com)

In Four Rooms, Quentin Tarantino starred and directed a segment and asked his friend Bruce Willis to appear uncredited.

While Willis does not appear in Tarantino's portion of the Grindhouse double-feature, [Death Proof](https://collider.com/tag/death-proof/), Tarantino did produce the double-feature. The last official collaboration between Willis and Tarantino was the 2007 double-feature combo movie, [Grindhouse](https://collider.com/tag/grindhouse/), their combined [ode to low-budget grindhouse cinema](http://collider.com/grindhouse-15-years-later-death-proof-planet-terror/). [Lili Taylor](https://collider.com/tag/lili-taylor/), and Alicia Witt portraying a coven of witches. It is Leo who helps explain that Chester and his friend Norman (Paul Calderon) are looking to re-enact the bet from Alfred Hitchcock Presents' "The Man From The South," with Peter Lorre and [Steve McQueen](https://collider.com/tag/steve-mcqueen/). [Tim Roth](https://collider.com/tag/tim-roth/)), comes into the room, Leo is having an argument with his wife on the phone, who appears upset that Leo is not going to make it home on New Year's Eve, since he was out celebrating with Chester over the success of his movie "The Wacky Detective." The film was released shortly after Rodriguez and Banderas' film, Desperado, was released in theaters and became a hit. Chester is the main center of attention in the segment as he rants and raves to Ted. Apparently, Willis wanted to portray the role of Vincent Vega, [but Tarantino had already promised that role to John Travolta](http://collider.com/john-travolta-pulp-fiction/). There are quite a few memorable appearances by notable talents throughout Four Rooms, such as [Madonna](https://collider.com/tag/madonna/) in "The Secret Ingredient" and [Antonio Banderas](https://collider.com/tag/antonio-banderas/) in "The Misbehavors," but Bruce Willis was probably the biggest star to appear in the film. Tarantino had just released [Pulp Fiction](https://collider.com/tag/pulp-fiction/), which made a staggering [$200 million worldwide off of an $8 million budget](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Pulp-Fiction). [Quentin Tarantino](https://collider.com/tag/quentin-tarantino/) worked on a bit of a film oddity. In the case of Four Rooms, Tarantino partnered with some of his other filmmaker buddies, Alexandre Rockwell, Allison Anders, and [Robert Rodriguez](https://collider.com/tag/robert-rodriguez/) for this interesting, cameo-laden oddball adventure.

In this visually stunning sci-fi epic, Willis plays Korben Dallas, a cab driver who becomes embroiled in a battle to save the universe from an ancient evil. In this sci-fi classic, Willis plays James Cole, a time traveler from a dystopian future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out humanity. The film is famous for its twist ending, but Willis' performance is what anchors the film emotionally, as he struggles to come to terms with his own troubled past.

In a joint statement, they began: "As a family, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and compassion for Bruce over the past ten months. We know in our hearts that – if he could today -- he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families." Your connection helps me and I hope it helps you in a small way to know that I see you and I deeply understand your journey as well". As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis." Love you and love our family.

Despite his crushing dementia diagnosis, Bruce was lovingly surrounded by his ex and current wife, and his five daughters, writes Polly Hudson.

The road ahead will be far from easy, but at least none of them are travelling it alone. “We’ve become like a tribe. It’s generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the break-up of a marriage, but they don’t understand how I can get along with my ex like that,” Bruce said back in 2009, nine years after the split. This family setup is, of course, unusual, but Bruce and Demi aren’t the first Hollywood stars to attempt to pull it off. Supporting each other. Supporting Bruce.
